After a long battle with cancer, Bishop Eddie Long of Dekalb County’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church passed away at the age of 63 on Sunday. As news of his death spread like wildfire, the question on everyone’s mind became: what do the young men who accused the Bishop of sexual coercion have to say about his passing? New reports say they’ve spoken out – sort of.
From AJC:
“We’ve been hearing from people from all walks of life — the media, celebrities, gospel singers — wanting to hear what we think,” said Spencer LeGrande, one of four former New Birth Missionary Baptist Church members who filed suit against Long in 2010. A fifth accuser, Centino Kemp, came forward as the lawsuit entered a mediation process. An undisclosed financial settlement was reached soon after.
The young men maintain they’ll remain silent for now, but will address his death in their upcoming book. The site continues:
